Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of an element, it only happens to certain ones, most often Uranium 235 but also Plutonium 239. It does not take place in the sun at all, the sun is powered by nuclear fusion which is the joining together of hydrogen nuclei to form helium.
What else can I help you with?
Why no fission on sun?
The core of the Sun is not dense or hot enough to sustain nuclear fission reactions like those in nuclear power plants. Instead, the Sun undergoes nuclear fusion, where lighter elements are combined to form heavier ones, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This fusion process sustains the Sun's energy output and keeps it shining.
What is the event that take place as energy from the sun travels through an energy pyramid?
?
What time and place does the poem the sun rising take place?
"The Sun Rising" by John Donne takes place in a bedroom where the speaker is addressing the sun for disturbing his romantic moment with his lover. The specific time and place are not clearly defined, as the focus is on the speaker's defiance against the intrusive sun.
Is the sun a atomic bomb?
I question why this is in the "Japan in WW2" section, but regardless. No, the sun is obviously not a bomb. However, you probably meant to ask something like, does the sun behave similar to an atomic bomb. The answer is, kinda. Most a-bombs use fission, while some use small fission reactions to create a fusion reaction, and are thus similar to the fusion reaction which makes the sun what it is.
In what layer of the sun does fusion take place?
Fusion takes place in the core of the sun. This is where the immense pressure and temperature allow hydrogen atoms to combine and form helium, releasing energy in the process.
How does the sun produce enagy?
The energy produced in the sun is liberated in the form of heat and light. The reaction going on in the sun is known as Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission. Both processes take place simultaneously.
What is sun fission?
Fission does not occur in the sun, it is fusion which produces the sun's energy
What happens inside the nucleus of the atom?
fission is take place
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

Why does burning not take place on the Sun?
The sun does not have enough oxygen.Strange as it seems, the sun is just too hot for burning to take place.
What is the place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?
The place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place is called a nuclear reactor. In a nuclear reactor, uranium atoms are split in a controlled manner to produce heat energy, which is used to generate electricity.
How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
Where do most of the thermonuclear reactions take place on the sun?
The most thermonuclear reactions on the sun, take place in the core.
Does fission or fusion occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the sun.
Does fusion or fission occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the sun.
